My secound pen and also made for my mom

Ok since i started likeing no since i started loveing wich was 2 days ago a made a pen for my mom it was a free pen blank from some both at the wood working show in baltimore and it is made out of maple wood and also the date on the pic is rong.

Nice job Dave. Kind of addictive isn’t it? I gave pen turning a shot this weeked. I gave my wife, two best friends and my mother in law one. At least they were impressed and I didn’t have to break the bank to do it.

You had your Dad and another woodworking adult with you at the show and you couldn’t throw a tantrum or something to get them to buy a mini-lathe?You couldn’t convince them that you could teach them to do something as useful as make a pen (or a hundred)?Guess you’ll just have to get a paper route or be a bag boy at the local supermarket to earn a couple hundred bucks to buy your own. Don’t let them near it. ;>)

Nice pen.

Maybe your mom will recognize your talent and front you the money. (1)You could pay her back selling the pens. (2)She’ll always know where you are. [big selling point] (3) If she doesn’t you will run away and join the circus.

I’ll sell you my old Carba-Tec for $25 plus shipping but you will need a motor.

Dave awesome pen again. I told you last week that i was going to take my first pen making class this last weekend. Well i did and i loved it. I am looking around to which lathe i want to buy cause i want to start off making pens but advance to some bigger things so i dont want just a small lathe. I have not had time to post it yet. Thanks.
